The Drinks Are On Me

-
Waiting for your offspring's exam results is akin to having the Sword of Damocles hanging over you I have decided. Neither is particularly pleasant, but I am pleased to be able to report that the teenogre met the grade for his second choice of university and is off to study up the other end of the country next year. His Ma and Da can now heave a sigh of relief.

Would you care to join me for a free drinkie to celebrate. Sadly we have already quaffed the bottle of champers so all I can offer you is either coffee or the rather intriguing Earl Grey and rose petal tea. Both donations received from kind freecyclers this week.


The teen will no doubt be out on the lash celebrating whilst frankly all his Father and I desire is an early night and the restored ability to sleep!!!

    Hurrah! Well done teenogre on suitably suitable results - we have had a similar tense few weeks and major self doubts by our Eldest who to his (and everyone else's) great relief he too obtained the suitably suitable results meaning we are about to pack him off to uni (will miss him though but shhhh don't tell him :))

The Flat Earth Society

 The Flat Earth Society is real with real people holding such views. Everyone's entitled to their opinions and let's just leave it at that shall we. I must admit that I was rather amused by this graffito which came upon during today's wanderings. Now with the way my brain is wired I can often see things from more than one point of view so I struggle to pick a side in an argument. Whilst I am confident of the correct answer in this particular scenario, would this make me middle earth rather than my usual middle ground if I was unsure one wonders😁 Me and my daft brain eh!!

A moving tale

"Why?" you might well be asking yourself is she showing us a picture of a microwave with a pile of stuff. TYM is moving from his shared house into a furnished flat in another town next month [still renting] and due to the insurance on the property there are a few mobile items with plugs that you have to provide yourself. That in itself really isn't news. He has decided to buy himself a microwave, a toaster and a vacuum cleaner. Although his salary has increased with his recent promotion so have his necessary outgoings so he has to be mindful when spending. Only a couple of weeks ago I found out that there's a local house clearance company who are trying to improve the reputation of the business by not just throwing everything they can't sell into landfill. Instead they offer items within a specified area for free which you can ask for on their FB page. If they select you they then drop it off on your doorstep for free when they're working or travelling en rout
